Finally it is complete! I am quite happy with the way it has finished up because I was quite worried at the beginning of the semester that I would not be able to make anything that resembled a bike what so ever. I learned so many new processes in this module. Welding, finishing and practical applications of the processes. I would like to thank everyone for the feedback they gave me to help me on my way. Thanks a lot! November 27, 2010.
Im changing the standard frame slighty so it will look more like a standard hard tail frame for a chopper. Im planning on a working light for the bike in the shape of a skull. I plan to make the tank in the shape of a coffin. This will tie in with the theme of the bike.
Final Thoughts on Finished Product. Mdash; Leave a comment.
In keeping with the racing theme, I made twin exausts by bending two solid 12mm bars and placing 16mm piping cut at a 60 degree on the ends of the bars. Comming out underneath the back seat. Instead of just putting the back axle out through the box iron I wanted to use axle mounts, this meant that I could have the back wheels further up in the frame and nearer the back mud guard.
I feel that the bike should be made into two modules and possibly spread out over two semesters. These are some pictures of my Bike fully completed. To be honest i wasnt totally ha.
The handle bars of the bike are based on the handle bars of the vintage horse drawn drill plough as shown above. I then used 25x6mm flat bar and shaped two pieces in the shape of the plough handle bars and tacked them together. I welded a piece of 6mm round bar to represent the cross bar. I tapered the edges of the flat bar and welded the complete unit to the suspension unit.
